Oriel bow window and Jacobean ashlar blind arcade. Rear elevation has first floor balcony {1}. The hall was built south-facing overlooking extensive landscaped gardens. The principal rooms are had desirable vistas over the garden. The gardens had one of the finest collection of tree specimens in the country. Many of these trees still remain, but in the 1970s the grounds were largely carved up and sold off for private housing. The Hall still has a substantial garden but has lost the former grandeur of the estate, which was open to the public peridically during the mid C20.
